Good Afternoon,
I've been attempting to install ImgBurn on a system for a standard user on a Windows XP SP3 system. I logged in as a domain admin & installed ImgBurn with "Install for All Users" & "Enable SPTI access for All Users" enabled. After the installation I rebooted, logged in as admin and tested with everything passing. I then logged in as a standard user and tested but it FAILED. I received the 'You need Administrative privileges to use SPTI' error when I launched it.

I then attempted to follow the manual instructions based off of the FAQ (http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=59) but had the same results.

To make a long story short, I finally identified (by testing on another clean system that never had ImgBurn installed on it) that before you run the setup the registry value [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "allocatecdroms" setting exists as a "REG_SZ" value. When you select the "Enable SPTI access for All Users" option in the ImgBurn installer, it changes it to a REG_DWORD value. This caused the policy/registry setting to not be applied properly ( see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/cc957388.aspx ).

Hope this information will make things smother for the installer. Maybe I'm the only one experiencing this but if someone can confirm...
:-)

Hello !

I installed ImgBurn on 2 computers :
-Windows Vista (64 bit).
-Windows 7 (64 bit).

I also use the "Enable SPTI access for All Users" setting.
I checked, the registry value is also wrong (but seem to be placed elsewhere), but it doesn't seem to make any problem, I can burn while logged in as a standard user.

Is it expected that this bug doesn't affect Vista and Seven ?
Or is there some hidden problem that I will find later ?

Thanks.
